Top 7 Things to Do for a Girls\u2019 Night<\/b> Out in Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The kids are getting on your last nerve and you need an escape, but don\u2019t have the time or money for a trip to a faraway land. Gather up your girlfriends, mom, & sister, because we\u2019ve put together 7 things you can do for a girls\u2019 night out that will take you away from the stress, just long enough so you\u2019ll still remember who\u2019s waiting for you back at home!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dinner at Harry & Bud\u2019s European Cuisine<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little bit of a secret, but there is a restaurant located on 25th street in Terre Haute where you can have the most amazing meal and make some of the best memories with friends. <\/span>Harry & Bud\u2019s<\/span><\/a> opened in 1993 as a mix between a Mom & Pop restaurant and a Greenwich Village hangout. \u00a0There is no signage, just a big globe light outside by the front door. If the light’s on, they\u2019re open! Harry & Bud\u2019s is on our bucket list of establishments to experience in Terre Haute and we thought we should share it. \u00a0Filled with mismatched tables and chairs, the atmosphere of the restaurant is very relaxed and cozy. The menu changes depending on what ingredients they have on hand and they like to serve a lot of food, so come hungry and be prepared to take home leftovers. This is not a fast casual restaurant, they like to take their time & provide an excellent meal. It makes the perfect spot to catch up with friends or family and spend the evening over wine and a memorable meal. So grab a group of friends, call and make a reservation, & don\u2019t forget to bring your own alcohol and drinks (it\u2019s BYOB)!<\/span><\/p>\n

Cake & Cocktails at<\/b> The Cake Bake Shop<\/b><\/p>\n

The Cake Bake Shop<\/a> near Indianapolis in Broadripple Village is a fairytale destination that involves champagne and cake. The perfect place to celebrate any occasion, this shop is open 7 days a week and is booked up months in advance. \u00a0They offer a food menu as well as an extensive list of sweets and drinks. Celebrities like Oprah and Matt Damon are raving about their three layered french cakes, so you know it\u2019s good. Try the <\/span>Raspberry Champagne <\/span><\/i>cake, It\u2019s by far one of my favorites. The shop is opening its second location this fall in Carmel, so stop making excuses and book a reservation. <\/span><\/p>\n

Trivia Night at WaterTower Estates<\/b><\/p>\n

WaterTower Estates<\/span><\/a> is located just off of 41 on Springhill Drive. Originally built in 1921 and renovated and opened in 2016, the winery has been a fantastic addition to the local community. Every Wednesday evening WaterTower Estates hosts the most fun trivia night you can imagine. \u00a0Wine sales are encouraged (it helps with your total score), food can be brought it for all to share, & laughs are had for all.

Monthly Beer Pairing Dinner at Stables Steakhouse<\/b><\/p>\n

Every month <\/span>Stables Steakhouse<\/a> in Terre Haute hosts a craft beer pairing dinner. Each month they chose a different brewery to work with and develop 5 courses based off of 5 beers. The crowd is a mix of young and old, and it\u2019s a great way to make new friends or network with others. The beer pours are huge and the meal is hearty and delicious, so for the price of $65 it is well worth it. \u00a0We\u2019ve been attending the dinners for the past year and a half and we love every minute of it. The dinners fall on a Wednesday so don\u2019t overdrink or you won\u2019t make it into work on Thursday. Stables posts their dinners through their Facebook page and tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite.<\/span><\/p>\n

Catch a Movie at Moonlite Drive-In<\/b><\/p>\n

Terre Haute used to be home to many drive-in theaters and they are currently making a comeback. <\/span>Moonlite Drive-In<\/a> is opening up in September 2018 and would make a perfect night out with the girlfriends. \u00a0Borrow your man\u2019s truck, fill it with blankets & pillows, grab some bottles of wine and pack a picnic. \u00a0It\u2019s bound to make the perfect girls’ night out or date night spot. I think the best time to go is in the fall when all the classic scary movies are playing and the weather is perfect to enjoy a double feature under the stars! <\/span><\/p>\n

Johnny & Junes Concert Venue<\/b><\/p>\n

This next location requires a bit more travel than our local spots. \u00a0If you want to turn your \u201cgirls’ night\u201d into a girl\u2019s weekend, <\/span>Johnny & June’s<\/a> is perfect for your next getaway. \u00a0<\/span>Johnny & June\u2019s<\/span> is a reception hall and entertainment venue located 2 hours away in Flora, Illinois. \u00a0Their vintage and industrial aesthetic fits perfectly into the small town setting.The venue is only open to the public when they hold one of their beloved concerts. \u00a0They are known for bringing in some big names and their reputation for being gracious hosts does not go unnoticed.
